Introducing the first journal of Chinese dental research to be published in the English language. It represents the research activities of Chinese authors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, for the purpose of promoting academic exchange. While there are some 15 professional dental journals in China, they are published in the Chinese language and include only English abstracts; this has limited China's ability to disseminate information and advancements to the international dental community. This journal fills a longstanding need for a publication that concentrates on research from China meaningfully published in English, the international language.
